I've retrofitted a Carrera a few months ago (3~4months) and use the below high density foam held by a few drops of rtv silicon. Still looking as new today. Not a perfect seal 'as rubber would do' but visually it is the same. Looks 100x times better than nothing at all or the old melted rubber anyway.

Not tested. I have no idea if this HD foam material will last "years" under heavy UV and sun heat. It is however definitely good to use as a quick replacement until you find a donor/oem rubber seal.

Everywhere on ebay in many sizes... $1 type item. DIY fun
